emmanuel, John's right, as long as there is support, nothing changes. Depending on the size of the board fixtures might be a better option over support pins. Unless the pins jump out of the machine and follow it into the reflow oven, You never know!!

Challenges: The basic defects that impact assembly yield are bridging, satellite solder balls, and opens (i.e. tombstones / draw bridges). There are many variables with the stencil printing process that can impact these; several of them are listed
